Xanthippe:
I think we have both agreed this is a complex situation and simplistic solutions will not fit the bill.
Absolutely. My hope is wide spread access to technology will eventually allow for better communication and understanding of facts which will slowly but surely corrode away idelogies, expose corruption and hold politicians hostage with knowledge.

he's been curious about seeing what i hated so much about the whole thing (not that he'll really understand everything, i mean of course he never will to my extent but)... i'd like to see what an outsiders view on the whole thing would be as well.
LOL James.

Obviously I won't pretend to have a solution because as yet I doubt anyone has a practical one. I will say that I do not think we can help most of these countries with food and material aid because warlords, organized crime and poor administration would deny those resources reaching their intended demographic, I've seen it first hand just as most of us have seen it or read about it in the news or elsewhere. The people in those countries need to first do whatever they can to stabilize their own countries to the point where investors can feel safe investing in them. Job security then influences the standard of living and so forth. But helping them with charity in my opinion is not the answer.
